T o all whom if may concern.'

5e it known that l, MARTIN HURwrrZ, a citizen of the United States, residing 'at Jacksonville, in the county of Morgan and State ot lllinois, have invented new and useiul improvements in Attachments forl 'i`rousers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in outer garments and more particularly to trousers.

The object of the invention is to provide a garment. of this character which may be converted from a cuit' bottom trouser to a .straight trouser or vice versa, and which is provided with means for protecting the trouser bottom and cuit when in either position.

still further object of the invention is the improvement of the structure shown in Farley, 923,345 of June 1, 1909. rlhis construction has many disadvantages. Then the trousers are'worn with a cuit bottom, there is no protector to prevent wearing of the lower edge of the cuil' and when the trousers are worn as straight bottom trousers there is no protection for the cuill which becomes so worn that it is unpresentable and cannot be turned up into cuff form.

Then, there is no means provided by which the cuit may be secured in its interior position so that it will not be disarranged when the trousers-are put on. p

it is the object of this invention to avoid this ditliculty and broadly speaking consists in the provision of a protector arranged within the trousers and adapted to overhang the culi so as to secure the same in position and to protect it when the trousers are used with straight legs andl also to protect the bottoms ot' the trousers when used with cuffs.

Further' objects of the invention will appear as the followingspecific description is read in connection withthe accompanying drawing which forms a part of this application, and in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of one leg ot a pair of trousers `provided with a cuit with parts broken away. Fig. 2 is a vertical section on an enlarged scale with the hem turned to form a cuil". Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the cuff concealed.

lt-t'erring more particularly to the drawing 1 represents one leg of a pair of trousers which is provided with a cu 2 adapted to be worn on the outside or upon the inside of the leg as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. This cuff is provided by folding-an extension of the material of which the leg is formed upwardly as atl 3 along the side of the leg and folding the remaining part of the extension as at 4 upwardly to connect with the folded portion 3 and the main portion of the trousers leg by blind stitching 5. This stitching bein arranged intermediate the width of the cu 2 a half of the cut'f extends ,above the lower edge of the trousers leg as indicated at 6 and the opposite half of the cuff extends below the point G. rThus it will be seen that by folding the cull inwardly, the inner side of the upper portion of the cult forms a straight extension to the leg `of a length equal to the length of the trousers when the cuit is folded up. S0 far as the structure has been described it is substantially the same as the structure indicated in the Farley patent and has the disadvantage of bringingthe cuff when turned inwardly into direct contact with the shoe of' the wearer, thus allowing the same to become disarranged or pushed out and soiled to such an extent as to render it unfit for use as an external cud. ln order to avoid this difficulty, a shield or protector 7 is stitched by blind stitching 8 or otherwise secured to the inside of the leg of the` trouser immediately above the upper edge of the cuit when in interior position and depends considerably belowwthe point 6 so as to protect the cud whenturried inwardly and also to secure and" ii'event the soiling of the bottom of the-'A'c'uft when turned outwardly. Ilhe protector 7 may be made ot' the same material as the trousers or any other suitable material which is less costly and has better wearing qualities as the .protector is concealed at all times, and it is turned outwardly at, itsl lower edge and stitched so as to provide a bead 7a t'or engagement with the trouser cud adjacent its lower edge, when in either position, andV whose cuff is exposed and is in the way of the wearers foot when putting on the trou` nected to the same, said cuff adapted to be turned interiorly or exteriorly, and means secured to the inside ,of said leg whereby the cui may be secured in its interior position so as to prevent disarrangelnent of the same said means further serving to protect said cud in either position.

2. A trousers leg having anintegral cuff formed at its lower end and centrally con-V nected to the bottom of the same, said culi adapted to be turned interiorly or exteriorly, and means for securing said culi1 in its interior position to prevent disarrangement of the same comprisin a shield of liable material secured to t e inner sur ace of the trouser leg above the lowervedge of the same and adapted to overlie the cui when in its interior position, said shield extending to a point adjacent the lower edge of the cuff in either position so esto protect the same.

3. A trousers leg having an integral cuff formed at its lower end and centrally connected to the bottom of the same, said cuill adapted to be turned interiorly or exteriorly,
